unforgettable experience
The underwater world has surpassed everything seen so far. The crew on the boat was super friendly, helpful and took care of the well-being of the guests. An all-round successful trip. Come back on this boat, the number of guests is ideal, so you don't get in each other's way under water.

Spectacular shark encounters
The almost 6m tall "Lucy" and another female of almost the same size, which were often very close to the cages. Sighting of a total of almost 30 different great white sharks. The information from the professional crew about the sharks and their distinguishing features was also great. This gives guests the opportunity to photograph a shark that has not yet been registered and to give it a name. The spectacular jumps of the sharks out of the water were also sensational.
- Recommended for
- A great experience to experience the great white sharks so closely, the warmth of the crew and the possibility of unlimited cage diving.

The ship and the crew made for a wonderfully delightful dive trip experience.
Of course, the CALIFORNIA SEA LIONS!!! Such beautiful animals. They are comfortable with divers and getting to experience them up close and personal is something i'll remember until my dying day.

- I can't say enough about the care that the crew showed for all of us on board. Everyone was incredibly attentive to my needs. The food, dive guides, captain and steward were, not only incredibly competent, but carried out their duties with a care to detail and fun loving attitudes. Really, a fantastic trip.

A pretty unique experience
The dive guides are very good, especially Rodolfo. They spot the sharks, mantas and dolphins usually before the group see's them. The food was also good, with no complaints of any illnesses. The boat and crew has a good attitude to safety and give some quite lengthy but essential safety briefings. My 2nd trip to Socorro, but hopefully there will be many more to come!
- Recommended for
- Wild dolphins that are tame and are not scared of divers. Manta's which love to hang around for most of the dive and interact with divers. Uncrowded dive sites with hardly any other dive boats around.
